Dear Big Matt,
I spent £450 for my SIII (plus travel to the South and diesel back to the North)
The other day I spent a G on a new galvanised chassis.
I will probably spend the best part of another G by the end of June.
But it will be all worth it as I am doing the work myself so the money is all being spent on parts.
Mine is for keeps and I will drive it as an everyday ride then it will be shipping it to the Tropics.
Yours,
Matt.
Ps. Power steering is not my cup of tea, I like the fight.

insurance wise those animals could save your ass. i am unsure of the exact guidelines but if you were to classify your house as a small holding. by cramming a couple more chickens in the coop you could get agricultural insurance, rather than regular

Insurance for a defender is not as bad as everyone says, pre licence mine is £800 a year, but afterwards about £900-1000 which in the grander scale of 17yr old insurance is actually pretty good...

I have just had a look to see what has come out of the bank directly related to getting Clyde back on the road.
My total so far (includes purchase and transportation) £1576.72
I have to say that I didn't have to buy front and rear land rover badges, stainless floor screws twin horns etc but once you have started it is hard to stop.:scratching_chin:

Just added;
Alternator and pulley - £69
Flowmaster Exhaust - £89
4 Monroe premium shocks (old new stock) - £77
2 bump stops from ****part - £5.40
Alternator belt - £2.80
and a ****load of Hammerite - £40 ish
Then I'm gonna have to pay for an MOT and pre MOT service oh and some mandrel bends for the exhaust so I can fit the exhaust right and a new thermostat or whatever it is thats messing up my temp gauge. Plus I'm buying a RR classic dash to put in it as well as a new custom checker plate interior and sound proofing/heat insulation
